The Simpsons Season 21 Episode 18: Chief Of Hearts
Homer has to visit the bank but food is not allowed there so he puts his candy apple in his pocket. The clerks think he has a gun and mistakenly think he’s holding up the bank. At trial the judge sentences Homer to 100 hours of community service (he thinks its worse than going to prison). During comunity service Homer begins to become friends with Chief Clancy Wiggum who is supervising the prisoners. Homer and Chief Wiggum begin a bromance of sorts, with Chief Wiggum very excited that he has a new friend and asking the other cops if Homer is watching him as Homer leaves community service that day.
Marge overhears Bart and Milhouse talk about a cool new transformer toy similar to a Pokemon-style trading card game, called Battle Balls. Marge misunderstands them and thinks the kids are talking about drugs. Bart and Milhouse are way into these new toys. Marge rummages through Bart’s room and Bart catches his mom searching for drugs. Bart shows his mom Battle Balls and Marge thinks the toy is super cool.
Homer hangs out with Chief Wiggum, drinking beer and watching the stars, coming dangerously close to a date night. Chief Wiggum is called by the other cops to come to a crime scene involving the mafia. Chief Wiggum and Homer arrive and find bad guys being arrested by the cops. One of the mafia guys grabs Homer and threatens to shoot him if the cops don’t let him get away. Chief Wiggum intervenes and in the process he gets shot in the chest. Homer sits by Chief Wiggum’s hospital bedside hoping he wakes up soon, knowing Chief Wiggum saved his life. When Chief Wiggum wakes up Homer wants to go home to see his family, but Chief Wiggum insists he stay at the hospital and read to him to keep him company. Feeling obliged, Homer agrees to stay with Chief Wiggum. Homer complains to his buddies at Moe’s that Chief Wiggum is very needy and Chief Wiggum overhears him and is insulted, breaking off the friendship. Homer realizes he misses his friendship with Chief Wiggum after all.
Homer and Chief Wiggum are taken hostage by the mafia and stuffed into the trunk of a car. Knowing that they are going to swim with the fishes, Homer convinces Chief Wiggum to come up with a way to get out of their situation. When Chief Wiggum outsmarts the mafia guys and arrests them, Homer admires Chief Wiggums smarts and they make-up. Friends Chief Wiggum and Homer decide to take a police helicopter ride to buzz Flander’s house and mess with him.
